Harriet and Hev lost their dubs (and Mika and Emerson are about to, too)

So Harriet can now concenrate of her singles and racking up those points for Indy

Jodie was on the qualifying list but withdrew so she has yet to play a singles match since her return.

With points to drop, if she doesn't compete and pick up ranking points next week her ranking will fall outside the top 500 although she will have a very much higher protected ranking.

 Jodie is at Roehampton today, so presumably not 100% yet

 She has also pulled out of next week at Nottingham. Its odd that she was fit enough to play doubles and actually looked very good in the BJK and is now not able to play singles in a W35 event. I do wonder if her heart is still in singles tennis.

Yes.

From what I understood from video clips etc, her shoulder is the problem and she was saying if she serves at 100% her shoulder will explode.

Now, you can't play singles and not have your serve

But doubles is a very different game. Not only do you only serve one in four games, not one in two (and no 3rd set).

But, more importantly, you don't need a really powerful serve - many top doubles players have middling powerful serves - you construct the point completely differently - a well placed, medium serve, that goes in 75% of the time, will be far more useful, for the volleyer at the net.
